The first major clash of swords in the current X-Men crossover event 'X of Swords' seems about to begin in this preview of November 11'𒀰s .
The preview features Captain Britain (wielding t🐭he newly-forged Starlight Sword) preparing to battle the Swordbearers of Arakko's Isca the Unbeaten (wielding the sword called Merc) on Otherworld. Before their physical battle, they've already started a war of words.
Excalibur #14 preview
The name Isca the Unbeaten isn't just pro-wrestling-style hype - Isca has the mutant ability that renders her ef♓fectively unbeatable. As established in X-Men #12, Isca possesses tychokinesis - the ability to work luck and chance to her side to win. It's similar to Domino's mutant ability, but obviously amped up.
"Two swords. Two cups𓆏. Two must answer," reads Marvel's solicitatiℱon for the issue.
Jubilee and her s💫on Shogo (the dragon) are re-established in this preview as well, waiting o꧙utside of the battleground.
In Excalibur #14, Captain Britain witnessed the murder of an alt-universe Jubilee at the hands of her brother, Jaime Braddock. While that doesn't affect our Jubilee reallꦑy while she's living, if she were to die while still on Otherworld it would throw a wrench i🐓nto the X-Men's method of resurrecting mutants.
Excalibur #14 is written by Tini Howard (and 'X of𝔉 Swords' co-architect with Jonathan Hickman), with guest art by Cable artist Phil Noto. This is the fifteenth chapter of 'X of Swords,' which encompasses the entire X-line – X-Men, Marauders, X-Factor, Cable, Wolverine, X-Force, Hellions, New Mutants, and here with Excalibur. The finale of the event comes November 25 with the one-shot X of Swords: Destruction #1.
Excalibur #14 goes on sale on November 14.
